the indie NEXT listThe Ocean at the End of the LaneA Novel, by Neil Gaiman(William Morrow, 9780062255655, $25.99)“Gaiman is a magnificent storyteller, creating scenes so complete that you aren’t just reading, but rather inhabiting a universe that’s thoroughly believable yet truly otherworldly. The story’s terror —the claustrophobia and vulnerability of childhood, the way a child’s wants, needs, and fears go unnoticed by adults, and the horrors that can result—is perfectly

balanced against the consolation of books, the magic of the natural world, and the power of those who do listen, understand, and take action to set the universe to rights at whatever cost to themselves. Painful and wonderful, gorgeous and horrifying, truly fantastic, essential and classic, this is a book to return to again and again.”
